Regulated intramembrane proteolysis: signaling pathways and biological functions.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Intramembrane cleavage of transmembrane proteins is a fundamental cellular process. Several enzymes capable of releasing domains of integral membrane proteins have been described. Transmembrane protein proteolytic cleavage is regulated and involved not only in degrading membrane spanning segments but also in generating messengers that elicit biological responses. This review examines the role of the released functional protein domain in signaling mechanisms regulating an array of cellular and physiological processes.

Long-term Proposal Report Structural Study of Regulated Intramembrane Proteolysis
Regulated Intramembrane Proteolysis (RIP) is a highly conserved signaling mechanism, where a signaling molecule is cleaved within the lipid bilayer by an intramembrane protease. Traditional wisdom argued that proteolysis requires water; however, in RIP, both the protease and the substrate are integral membrane proteins and the cleavage occurs within the hydrophobic lipid bilayer. It has been mo...
متن کاملQARIP: a web server for quantitative proteomic analysis of regulated intramembrane proteolysis
Regulated intramembrane proteolysis (RIP) is a critical mechanism for intercellular communication and regulates the function of membrane proteins through sequential proteolysis. RIP typically starts with ectodomain shedding of membrane proteins by extracellular membrane-bound proteases followed by intramembrane proteolysis of the resulting membrane-tethered fragment. However, for the majority o...
متن کاملCD74 is a member of the regulated intramembrane proteolysis-processed protein family.
Quite a few regulatory proteins, including transcription factors, are normally maintained in a dormant state to be activated after internal or environmental cues. Recently, a novel strategy, requiring proteolytic cleavage, was described for the mobilization of dormant transcription factors. These transcription factors are initially synthesized in an inactive form, whereas "nesting" in integral ...
متن کاملIntermittent hypoxia reduces microglia proliferation and induces DNA damage in vitro
Objective(s):Intermittent hypoxia (IH), caused by obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), could cause hippocampus or neuron damage through multiple signaling pathways, while the underlying mechanisms are still unclear. Thus, the present study aimed to explore the effect of IH on the biological functions of microglia cells. Materials and Methods:Cell proliferation of BV2 cells after exposure to IH were o...
متن کاملAKT family and miRNAs expression in IL-2-induced CD4+T cells
Objective(s): Study of non-coding RNAs is considerable to elucidate principal biological questions or design new therapeutic strategies. miRNAs are a group of non-coding RNAs that their functions in PI3K/AKT signaling and apoptosis pathways after T cell activation is not entirely clear. Herein, miRNAs expression and their putative targets in the mentioned pathways were studied in the activated ...
